"Recent reports claim surging interest in church with anecdotal stories of more young men attending. Christian Broadcasting Network reported churches 'overflowing' after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Talk of enthusiasm bred hope of revival. ...
But, broadly, it’s just not true."

Young adults, on average, are much less religious than older Americans. People in every age cohort (young and old) are getting less religious as they age."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"In fact, women’s withdrawal is one of the most important indicators for the church’s future. Traditionally, American Christian women are more religious than men. In most churches, even where women are not allowed to lead, they make up the backbone of church communities, offering free labor to maintain the sanctuary, teach, lead youth, serve children in church and other families in times of illness and difficulty."

The enthusiasm of mainstream media for the unsubstantiated meme of religious revival under Trump and after Charie Kirk's murder, and the claim that young men are spearheading this, has to be viewed within the frame of the media's servitude to Republicans and Trump — and to the "masculinity" movement.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"Hegseth is openly trying to transform the military—once a shining example of American diversity, seriously!—into an all-white, all-Christian, all-xenophobic fighting force that will follow Trump anywhere."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"The vast majority of the country is not down with this anti-immigrant mass deportation scheme. Again, the problem is that Trump and the MAGA movement have captured — and this is why we talk about this as white Christian nationalism — because they have captured particularly white Christians here."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"And there's a chasm between white Christians and non-white Christians on this. I mean, this ought to be a scandal in the Christian church. The color line, as Du Bois put it, in the Christian church is as strong as ever. And you see it really on MAGA, you ou see it on immigration issues all up and down the line. White evangelicals are the group that are 8 in 10 for Trump."
